And really, MJ far exceeds Magic. MJ never lost a series where they were the home seed. MJ never got swept in his prime. Magic is closer to Kobe than he is to Mj, as he had skme really bad finals moments, ad was a very average defender

are u really guna try to compare LeBron's disappearing act to Kobe?...really?! LMAO. Kobe was like 6-8 with 15 points at half time of Game 4 against the Mavs...the Lakers were still down 20+...clearly, Kobe was far from the problem in the playoffs for the Lakers this year (*cough* Gasol *cough*). and even if he did have off nights, it is not even remotely close to being comparable to LeBron's disappearing act FOR A FULL SERIES.. and this is LeBron in his physical prime...disgusting. u will NEVER see Kobe relegated to role player status. EVER. it's not in dude's DNA. even on an off night, he will still figure a way to leave his fingerprints on the game. LeBron with an 8 point game IN THE FINALS...U will NEVER see anything like that from Kobe, even when he is well out his prime. and MJ did not far exceed Magic...MJ never faced teams like Magic did in the Finals, not even close LMAO. even the Boston team that Kobe beat was far better than any team MJ ever beat in the Finals, and defense-wise, not even close...Magic was the best all-around player of all time. he did things on the basketball court that MJ could only dream of. MJ, while being one of the greats, is almost as overrated as LeBron. he was not some untouchable force and he wasn't God in a Bulls jersey, like we have been made to believe. he was an all-time great, amongst many other all-time greats. circumstance-wise, his career was almost perfect...but dont act as if there weren't years where MJ failed to make the Finals, because MJ obviously had to face his share of failures as well.

True. Kobe is a great player, top 10 ever j think. But he has never put his stamp on a finals series, and doesn't have a defining finals game, definitely not one of the top 20 games ever.

Game 5 of the 2000 NBA Finals could be considered a defining finals game. As for stamp on a finals series, he did average 26.8 points, 51.4% shooting, 5.8 rebounds, 5.3 assists in the 2002 Finals, but that was against the pathetic Nets.

LOL...Kobe had a defining Finals game at the age that MJ was still in college...these suckaz just don't know...............

First off, I love Magic Johnson, but his defense WAS trash. I DO think his game 6 in 1980 is the best finals game of all time though. I'm saying though, dude had his share of shit finals games and moments. Didn't they call the guy Tragic Johnson? As for Kobe, he doesn't have one top 10 finals game, agreed? No real shame I that, but it's kind of odd considering some of the amazing games he's had in the regular season. Next, MJ, despite circumstances blah blah, once AVERAGED 40 in a finals series, never lost a finals, never lost as the home seed, and has at least one of the top 10 finals games ever (most people say two or three). Please inform me of MJs failures in the playoffs
( aside from losing to the Magic after being outta ball for a year and a half)
As for circumstances, BOTH Magic and Kobe joined teams as rookies that had the best center in basketball. MJ didn't have such a luxury- it helped stats wise for sure, but not championship wise. Everything he got in the playoffs, he earned. Yes, he lost to the Pistons, but he overcame that by sweeping them
